they have driven more than 1 million accident free miles. there aren't quite as many million milers if you want -- as they want you to think. it appears a number of the people are photo shopped into the ad multiple times. here is the same driver twice. another y appears three times. either metro hired a lot of twins, triplets or there is more than meets the eye here. we contacted are the for comment. so far, haven't heard back. do a double take when we see some of these potential snow totals coming our way. >> in the mountains, four days of up sloped snow. my family in erie, they got 18 inches. my nephew totaled his car in a white out. he's okay. the cold will stick around. we may get snow before the end of the week, maybe enough to shovel. as we look live across d.c.

tonight, we are not finding it quite as windy but i'm sorry to tell you a few breezes out there today. they will lighten up tonight but they will be back tomorrow for our afternoon. we are talking about winds 15 to 25 miles per hour. it makes it feel colder. you know the drill. this december of 2009 was colder than normal. only five days in january, it's definitely running below normal. the only day close to average was the first when it was 44. the rest of the time well below average. we have been at or below normal the last nine days. even looking back into december. we have another blast of cold air friday night into the weekend. it will bpushing a little snow ahead of it then the cold air comes in behind it. so, get ready for one more round. high temperature wiz today, we got up to 37 degrees. it probably felt warmer. the wind was better. some sunshine mixed with the clouds.

temperatures are back down at or below freezingn most areas with the exception of fredricksburg at 34. cold night again. windchill about where they have been. maybe not quite as bad as the district. baltimore 21. winds will be lighter tonight and pick up tomorrow afternoon. we think they will be on the order of -- the wind out of the west-northwest at 10 to 15 miles per hour. close to where we were last night with a little cloud cover in there and still on the breezy side. you may see a few flurries around in the morning. cold and breezy. 38 for us. by the way, we have the orange bowl on fox in miami. 50 degrees. so much forgetting away for the warm weather but that would feel warm to most of us in d.c. you can see the snow on interstate 79 in western pennsylvania. this is what we will be watching. this will organize into a weak fast moving disturbance that will approach our area during

the day on thursday. mountain snows continue. maybe a foot. thursday our rpm model brings in light snow. we get a dry slot here which might cut down on totals. with that dry slot, we are thinking maybe a small accumulation. maybe a trace to an inch in the district. north of say, montgomery county and interstate 70, possibly 2 to 4 inches and more in the mountains. that is something that we will keep an eye on. sometimes the small amounts are enough to cause trouble on the roadways. we will watch the thursday friday light snow event closely. small accumulation is possible and cold enough for snow but then look at what happens to the temperatures for the weekend. crashing again. temperatures in the upper teens at night. that is for the district. midteens for the suburbs. >> i think the wind will be back again after this thing goes by. >> it will be tough. >> hang in there. redskins may be closer to naming a new head coach. mike shanahan and his agent are
